India wins toss and opts to bowl against West Indies in second ODI
Shubman Gill has called correctly at the coin toss and India is bowling first against the West Indies in their second one-day cricket international in Guwahati
GUWAHATI, India -- Shubman Gill called correctly at the coin toss and India opted to bowl against the West Indies in their second one-day cricket international on Wednesday.
India won the first ODI by eight wickets on Sunday in the three-match series.
The host made one change; pace bowler Auqib Nabi makes his ODI debut. Allrounder Nitish Reddy was left out as India improved its pace combination.
West Indies changed four: Justin Greaves, who scored a maiden hundred in the first game, was out due to a calf injury. Keacy Carty will open the innings instead. Also included were allrounders Sherfane Rutherford and Keemo Paul along with left-arm wrist spinner Vitel Lawes.
Batter Jewel Andrew, pacer Matthew Forde and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie were left out.
The pitch at Barsapara Cricket Stadium has a bit more grass compared to the first game. Usually it favours spinners but batters will still find it easy through the day.
